As I said, overreaction doesn't really help anyone, Mr Drama. I also said it doesn't make acceptable the calling out of him as a suspect. I didn't excuse the PD's actions, I merely point out that is was eventually cleared up without bloodshed. While that's a low bar to meet, when the crowd expected worse, it's a step. While they were being hunted and picked off, Dallas PD managed to isolate and dispatch the shooter without causing mortal harm to anyone else.

over reaction ~ that his photo was widely and publicly disseminated that very evening to a group of nice LEs, & JQPublic (who might be in a vigilante mentality to take things into their own hands) shouldn't have occurred in the first place, IMHO as it puts the nice gentleman in grave danger ~ especially from vigilantes.
instead, as mcbeth observes, the police should be chastised for their actions based purely on an individual's ethnicity, which put the young man in this grave position...
cleared up?? you seem to believe there was a merely a chance of this encounter resulting in bloodshed...humm one man reaching for his license is dead, humm one man selling CDs is dead...all within 24 hours in
normal controlled environment not a crisis filled mass shooting situation...
further, this young man's photo has been disseminated far and near...even with the CNN 15 minutes of fame, i do hope everyone got the message he didn't have a thing to do with the Dallas event so one hopes there are no future inadvertent repercussions...
sure didn't work with quote:
DeRay Mckesson, one of the most prominent activists associated with the police reform protest movement, was arrested late Saturday in Baton Rouge, where he traveled to demonstrate in solidarity with residents angered by the recent death of Alton Sterling after an officer-involved shooting that was captured on video.
He was released Sunday afternoon after being taken into custody about 11 the night before.
Two fellow activists who witnessed the arrest described it as physically violent.
Mckesson was charged with obstructing a highway of commerce, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to talk to reporters.
“He was held an inordinate amount of time,” said Roy J. Rodney Jr., Mckesson’s attorney. “And normally people who peacefully protest are not arrested in this fashion.” unquote

ya i am over reacting...the suspect publicly identified by the Dallas PD that night should be concerned and not just from the PD...

added: and now one of this forum's super moderators just put out a post with a cite which shows this individual's foto prominently displayed on the cite's front page.
uh huh...i am over reacting...this young man has just been made a public target and should be quite concerned of those around him.
